It then took Bayern Munich just 14 minutes to grab a third goal as Serge Gnabry did all the hard work before teeing up Sadio Mané to tap into an empty net.

Jamal Musiala then scored ten minutes later, not long after coming on as a substitute. Musiala scored after some neat build-up play in which he was heavily involved.

Leon Goretzka then grabbed the fifth goal to round off the scoring for the Bundesliga champions.

While the scoreline didn't reflect it, Viktoria Köln did have their moments in the game. Their keeper, Ben Voll, was the star performer, keeping the score to single digits. He even took a shot to the face in order to keep the scoreline respectable.
